Try

header("Location: http://www.example.com/");

Leave the Location: part. Just change the http://www.example.com/ to change the url.

tried this :

<?
$link=mysql_connect("localhost")or die("Could not connect");
mysql_select_db("cs259")or die("Could not select database");
$query="select * from epitaph where uname='" . $_REQUEST["uname"] . "'";
$result=mysql_query($query);

if(mysql_num_rows($result)==0)
{
header("Location: http://localhost/saint/failed.php");
}
else{

header("Location: http://localhost/saint/myquiz.php");

}
mysql_close($link);
?>



but gave me this error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at D:\cs259garcia\check.php:9) in D:\cs259garcia\check.php on line 17

hey mate, found some code i did ages ago and i think it is

window.frames[1].location = "<enter url here>";

though this is used for frames, i guess u just go:

window.location = "<enter url here>";

that does work though , well the top one, might test the second now

Try placing this at the very top of your script (it allows headers to be sent after output has already been sent to the browser)

This changes the setting at runtime (Not 100% sure this one can be changed at runtime but give it a shot)...

PHP Code:

<?php  ini_set('output_buffering','On');  ?>

tried it both, but no luck!

If you aren't able to do it sending headers, your best bet is to use a meta redirect:

PHP Code:

echo '<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;url=http://www.domain.com/">';
exit; 


Where the number before the semi-colon is the number of seconds before the page is redirected; 0 works well.

Just note that meta redirects can be disabled within browsers. So you may want to provide the user with a link:

PHP Code:

echo '<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;url=http://www.domain.com/">';
echo '<A HREF="http://www.domain.com/">Click here</A> if you\'re not automatically redirected';
exit;
